Author has written 19 stories for Wheel of Time, and Coldfire Trilogy.

Hello all!

I'm a long-time Wheel of Time fan from Finland. I used to write fics under another name back in 2002-2004, but I finally found the password to my old account and managed to remove those. They weren't horrible considering they were written by a teenager whose first language isn't English, but still. I'm glad they're gone.

You may find me on Tumblr (should anyone be so inclined), at http://elan-morin-tedronai.tumblr.com.

A few words about some of my fics:

To Walk in the Light - This one is something I'm proud of, but it could have been a lot better, and it's waiting for a rewrite but I can't say when I'm going to have the time and energy to commit to the project. Here's a drawing of Taim & Erin by Nanihoo on deviantArt.

Dance with the Devil - Work in progress. Slow progress, yes, but still. I haven't forgotten about it, I'm working on it, it's just... coming along... slowly. This was my attempt at writing a mostly-canon-compatible fic centering on the relationship of Taim and Logain; how well that worked out you can judge for yourselves. I still maintain it's perfectly plausible (with some slight artistic license on the timing of the appearance of a certain Forsaken).

The Age of Legends series; mainly a few notes on the timeline:

Clarity - Set far in Elan Morin & co's youth; I glossed over the exact age they are here because I'm still somewhat hazy on how I think education in the Age of Legends should work. (If anyone has any great ideas, feel free to shoot me a message!)

Of Masks and Murderers - This is set some years after the drilling of the Bore; the Dark One isn't wide-spread knowledge yet, and certainly not the fact that there are people who serve him.

The March of Death - An Asmodean-centric piece detailing some of the events around his joining the Shadow.

To Change the World - Set towards the end of the period known as the Collapse; it's not explicitly stated at which point Elan Morin Tedronai announced his allegiance to the Shadow in the Hall of Servants, but I think it's reasonable to assume that it would have been close to the outbreak of the War of Power, if only because the announcement is bound to have triggered a chain reaction and things would probably have escalated quickly from there.

Glass - Set some years into the War of Power. Not having precise timelines for that stuff is a bummer, but I'm making the assumption that Barid turned before Sammael's betrayal at the Gates of Hevan.

The "Asmodean Lives" verse;

Near Death Experience - As the name implies, an alternate take on a certain part of the ending of The Fires of Heaven. This fic, and those that will follow, are dedicated to pettymotives, who is a wonderful person and whose Asmodean art (there may be unrelated art in the tag but most of it is Asmodean/WoT-related and it's brilliant) inspired me to write this.

The Harp - Chronologically this belongs here, before Farm Life even though it was written after.

Farm Life - A short, uneventful piece whose main purpose was for me to practise writing Asmodean and establish the dynamics between Asmo, Rand and Taim.

Fire and Blood - Dumai's Wells, now with added Asmodean! And there's already an illustration for one of the scenes, based on an excerpt I posted on Tumblr -- clicky here! Note however that the illustration is a bit more humorous than the actual scene. Because why not. :D

Loyalty - A more Taim-centric piece, because I need to focus on his character some, too, in light of the changes from the canon.

They were only human, once. Before the Third Age, before the War of Power and the Breaking, there was the Collapse, and the rise to power of the men and women we know as Forsaken. Some were villains, even then. Most...were heroes. This is their story.

Follows the life of Elan Morin Tedronai in the Age of Legends, and his eventual trek to the Shadow. It begins with him being a young Aes Sedai with a harmlessly pessimistic view on the world. Rated T for violence, smoking, drinking and sex. Progress currently halted until further notice.

The entire story of the Collapse and the War of Power covers a period of over a century. I have no idea if I can complete enough of that tale to do it justice, but I do know that from time to time bits and pieces from much later periods than the main story surface in my mind. Those will be published as chapters here, lest they be lost. I've learned my lesson.

The Dark One can only win if he breaks us. Or so Rand al'Thor says. But when the Dragon Reborn falls to the Borderlanders just days before the Last Battle begins, what can possibly save the world now? A short piece in a few parts.

Perrin hunts for his abducted wife, and supplies run low. They make a supply run at a walled town called So Habor, but something's wrong. The dead walk, and worse. Perrin leaves, but Sebban Balwer stays to meet his contact, and returns three days later with Talanvor. But what happened in So Habor? Direct RJ quotes in italics.

In this short story, I explore the character of Dobraine. I have long been intrigued by him. He is one of the few lords that Rand al'Thor seems to trust. And we are given absolutely no reason for this trust. Except for the indexed definition of his character in the back of The Fires of Heaven, that is, a man who believes in the letter of his oaths.

I thought there was a bit too much left to the imagination at the end of A Memory of Light, so I wrote this Lan/Nynaeve-centered story, taking place during and after the content of the scenes in the Epilogue, to fill in some of the blanks. I hope it gestures toward some of the problems going forward, and the pain of what's been lost, more than AMoL did.

In his efforts to serve Jacob, Ben Linus sacrifices both the tattered remnants of his innocence and any last hope for a normal life. But service will demand even more of him than he expected when he is drawn into a most dangerous game of cat and mouse.

Doctrine of Labyrinths by Sarah Monette; Set after the events of The Mirador. 'Looking at his eyes, there was just nothing there. Not in either one, not a trace of the sometimes-bastard always-human brother I knew. He wasn’t there any more.' ONESHOT.

Eight Warders, one of each Ajah including the Black, and their Aes Sedai. A study of characters and relationships beneath the Warder bond, all turned into a single story; all their lives are about to change forever, because some can't keep their fingers out of the Shadow.

Asmodean Lives AU. Picks up directly after Loyalty. Taim wants to prevent Rand from sneaking off to get himself killed again. Rand wants to sneak off to kill Sammael. Asmodean wishes everybody would just chill.

Barid was real while Elan sometimes couldn't tell where his imagination ended and the real world began. Barid was safe and familiar in a world full of strangers. Barid was clarity in the midst of confusion. Barid was the eye of the storm. Barid was everything. [Age of Legends; arguably Elan/Barid.]

Age of Legends. Elan Morin shares the day before his announcement to the Hall of Servants with an unlikely companion. And the night. (Slash, m/m, consider yourselves warned if that is a thing that requires warning.)

Some say that there is no man who walks so deep in the Shadow that they could not be brought back to the Light. A man wakes up to the world after the Last Battle with no memory of his previous life. With the help of an Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah he sets out to find his past - only to find that sometimes, ignorance is bliss. AMoL spoilers, obviously. COMPLETED.

"And he remembered the storm that had overtaken them in mid-journey - - and he remembered thinking then that it was all over, that they had taken one chance too many, that this monster of the equatorial regions would surely devour them before nightfall. And then Tarrant had emerged." -When True Night Falls, Chapter One
